Bachelor of Arts in Cultural & Geospatial Studies

The baccalaureate degree in cultural and geospatial studies prepares students for
careers in community development and cultural resources management.

The degree program in cultural and geospatial studies draws from courses in anthropology
and geography, providing students with skills necessary for careers in a wide-range
of fields related to community development. These include regional and community planning,
economic development, cultural resources management, heritage preservation, ethnographic
studies, and geographic information science.

Of the remaining eighteen hours of required anthropology/geography credit, six must
come from anthropology and six from geography. Twenty-one of the required thirty-three
semester hours must be on the 3000-4000 level.

Majors in this program are also required to take six hours of beginning foreign language
courses or obtain the appropriate waiver for high school language study.
